Is there a way to make WM6 store the specific IP and DNS settings for an individual network?
When I have the settings configured for my home network it works great but having to change them and reset them each time I connect to a public network it a pain.
I just got my View last week and it updated to Honeycomb the very next day. Today is the first day bringing it to work. Our corporate network does not have DHCP enabled. I am able to see my corp network wifi and put in the password, but it never obtains an IP address. There is no 'menu' button to go to advanced settings like in normal android (2.2 or 2.3). On my phone I go to advanced settings and enter the IP information manually and it works fine. Where is that menu on this tablet? Did HTC 'F' up and leave it out?
Thanks!
Go to WIFI settings, tap on the network. Then change "IP Settings" from HDCP to "Passive" (strange that this is called "Passive" but anyway). Then you get a new menu to change the IP address, gateway, DNS, etc.
Hi,
I am currently trying to find a way to change the DNS settings on my S II. I want to implement the posibillity to set the DNS IP in the settings of my cyanogenmod ROM.
But it seems like its impossible to set a custom DNS for mobile networks on the SII.
I found out that Android stores its DNS settings as properties.
- net.dnsX for the current active DNS
- and also dhcp.wlan0.dnsX when connected to WiFi,
- or net.rmnet0.dnsX when connected to a mobile network.
I was able to change this settings manually with the "setprop" utility and also automatically by modifying "20-dns.conf" from dhcpcd for WiFi and "ConnectivityService.java" for mobile networks.
For WiFi this works without any problems, but for mobile networks these settings seem to be ignored completely. Android still uses the DNS settings from my provider. I was searching through the complete android source to find an indication where the dns settings are stored that are actually used, but I have found nothing.
First I thought my provider is routing all requests to port 53 to their own servers but even if I set the DNS address to 127.0.0.1, all requests are still resolved.
Has anyone tried this before or even sucsessfully changed the DNS settings for mobile networks on the S2?
I belive the DNS settings for mobile networks are handled in some binary blobs (from Samsung?), maybe libsec-ril.so.
Does anyone have what I can do?
While searching through the net I found out that this is working for other devices, so I dont really understand why samsung would ignore the properties in their code.

I am not able to find any Option to change the DNS from the ISP's to a different one, neither ipv6 nor ipv4. There is no option to use private dns feature of Android Pie either.
I was wondering that too not until I found out that they've blocked that feature on this devices also Xiaomi is not offering the same..But nevertheless you can do it by another method.
Step1:Go to setting/wifi setting
Step2:Change ip dynamic to static
Step3:There would be two fields of dns
Enter ????? on first &
????? on the second
You are good to go you can check on dnsleaks if it works or not
Are you able to do this with an app, naively, or with a specific custom ROM? I want to use pfBlocker/Pi-Hole when I am at home on Wi-Fi but I want to set the DNS server to dns.adguard.com when I am on LTE. The 'Private DNS' option in Android sets the DNS provider system wide. It doesn't matter if it is LTE or Wi-Fi.
